Film set catering in The Moor, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. For music video shoots and crew treats on long shoot days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near The Moor, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Why choose a fish and chip van in The Moor?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- We cover The Moor and the whole of Kent
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

We take our used oil and waste with us.
A dining area at base helps.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

The Moor questions
What’s the nearest station to The Moor?
Etchingham station, about 3.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Is The Moor too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
